Man Accused Of Stabbing Another Man In Downtown Nashua

NASHUA, NH — A man from Nashua is facing two first-degree assault charges after being accused of stabbing a man inside a downtown home on Monday.

Around 12:30 a.m., police were sent to a home for a report of a man who was stabbed in the leg twice. Officers arrived, confirmed the injury, and EMTs took the victim to a local hospital for treatment, Lt. Joshua Albert of the Nashua Police Department’s criminal investigation division, said.

“His injuries were considered non-life threatening,” he said.

Patrol officers “were able to successfully negotiate the surrender of James Frye” from the residence, and he was arrested, Albert said. Detectives furthered the case; later, he was charged with two first-degree assault felony counts and a resisting arrest or detention charge. Frye, 60, of D Street in Nashua, faces 31 years in prison as well as fines.

Frye was held on preventative detention and was arraigned in Hillsborough County Superior Court South on Tuesday.

Albert said the Nashua Police Department requested anyone with more information about this incident to contact the Crime Line at 603-589-1665.
